WEEK THREE DIARY

 

WEEK THREE DIARY:


We have now began to upload our bedroom scene shots so that we can put them together and start creating our horror trailer. On friday we will be shooting more scenes and we are planning a date of when we will begin the scenes at the beach location where the church is and the opening scenes.

This is the church where the girl (Lilly) and her sister (rachel) will discover the doll. I believe it fits well with horror conventions because it is old and stands out from the rest of the buildings. It creates almost a shadow over the village and by taking low angle shots of the church it will make it look overwhelming and powerful.


WEEK TWO DIARY

WEEK TWO DIARY:


We began filming the bedroom scenes and also some of the possession scenes which are all shot in the same location. This makes it easier as we can get all of those scenes out of the way before we move on to our next location and shots.






  These are pictures of the bedroom and our Possessed doll. I believe that this doll is suitable because it has an antique feel to it and she has pale skin and red hair which makes her look "innocent" to the audience. We accidently dropped the doll and her leg cracked however we thought this helped us because it gave her a more antique appearence! The bedroom amphasises the girls age and how innocent and childish she is which I believe is effective because the audience will not expect it to hold an evil presence.
